Zaka Ashraf’s removal challenged in IHC

The petition was filed by Advocate Abdul Razaq Rajab on behalf of Multan Regional Cricket Association.

It was stated in the petition that PCB governing board was dissolved illegaly, adding that that imposition of emergency in the board is tantamount to imposing the marital law.

The petitioner prayed to the court to nullify the notification issued on Prime Minister’s order.

So far, Zaka Ashraf has not so challenged the decision, but says he will take action after thoroughly reviewing the notification.

It is the second time in less than a year that Ashraf has been unseated as chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), which will be run for the time being by an 11-strong committee appointed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
